A mass or development of abnormal cells forming in the brain is known as a brain tumor. They may be cancerous or benign. The tumors may be primary brain tumors that begin in the membranes of the brain, cranial nerves, the pituitary gland, or the pineal gland, or they may begin in tissues nearby. Sometimes a brain tumor develops as a secondary lesion from another cancer elsewhere in the body. Brain tumors can spread quickly and have a significant impact on how well your neurological system works. Typically, a neurological examination can be used to diagnose brain tumors. Biopsies, MRIs, PET scans, and CT scans can all be used to make a diagnosis.

The Sterling Wockhardt Hospital's neuro-oncology department specializes in treating tumors of the brain and spinal cord. Both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumors can exist in these lesions. Depending on the area of the brain and spinal cord affected, all types of brain and spinal cord tumors may cause a variety of symptoms. The Sterling Wockhardt Hospital has technologically advance equipment (improved microscopes, intraoperative navigation, etc.) for the treatment of brain cancer. Surgery is a preferred choice of treatment to remove the benign brain and spinal cord tumors, although chemotherapy or radiation therapy is also necessary for the treatment of malignant brain and spinal cord tumors. Common benign tumors of the brain that are treated in Sterling Wockhardt Hospital are meningioma, acoustic neuroma, schwannoma, and pituitary tumors. The hospital has a skilled team of experts who can remove pituitary tumors through the nose with an endoscope or microscope without opening the skull.
